Treads well-worn ground; it's been done better before . . .

Rating: 6/10 (25 July 2003)

Enough other comments have noted the movie's various implausibilities that I won't add to them. Suffice it to say that two semi-classics, "The Quiet Earth" and "The Omega Man," explore the same theme, and do it better. Whether or not you enjoyed "28 Days Later . . . ," I recommend renting the two other films if you're interested in the last-people-left-on-Earth genre. "The Quiet Earth," a 1985 New Zealand production, is exceptionally good science fiction. As for "28 Days Later . . . ," I gave it 6 out of 10, after debating whether it deserved that high a rating.
